Charles Summers Study.

Charles Summers study. in the second story
of his residence at the corner OF I'll and FIJI
tenth streets, was a paradise in the estlma-
ton of bibliophiles or persons Of fine art
education. To one fortunate enough 10 gain
an entree it appeared almost impossible to
bring order out OF the great chaos OF books,
pamphlets, manuscripts, newspapers and
waste baskets prevailing in the room. The
walls were hung with very choice engravlngs
and photographs, of which Mr.. Sumner was
an ardent admirer, having in his possession
one of the most extensive and valuable col
lections in the country. The situation OF the
study was very cheerful, and the furniture
was rich without being gaudy. Here and
there portions Of lounges could be detected
amidst the mass of books and papers, while
occasionally moderately clear view in per-
spective could be- obtained OF a full length
chair.
If asked to "take q seat" visitor would
find it no easy matter to comply, and If he
attempted to sit down without an invitation
he would be wonderfully surprised with the
sudden growth of the furniture. 1t would
require numerous experiments for one
to learn through how many inches OF
official letters no would have to plunge in
order to reach the inkstand or paper cutter.

He did not know himself, but he had faith in

Sardou was now going through what be
called his exercises" He read the great
works of Scribe and Melesville, but would
stop at the end of the fourth act. Then he
would sit down at his desk and write fifth
act himself. This finished, he would read the
two fifth acts to the partner of his joys and
sorrows, without telling her which was which,
and leaving her to decide as to who was the
author from internal evidence. 1t is on rec
ord that she often decided that the denoue-
ment imagined by Sardou was superior to the
real denouement by Scribe. Then this skill

How Pickwick Languishcd.

For the first five months of its existence
Charles Dickens first serial, "The Pickwicl
Papers" was a signal failure. The average
sale was only about fifty copies Of each of the
five parts. Commercially, therefore, the pub
ication was decided failure. The publish
ers seriously debated whether they ought moi
to discontinue it; but while the question wa!
under consideration Sam Weller, who had
been introduced in the previous number, be-
gan to attract great attention and TO cal

The press was all but unanimous in prais

whom nobody but a great genius could have
created; and all of sudden, in consequence
Of Sans popularity, "The Pickwick Papers
rose to unheard of favor. The back numbers
were ordered to a large extent, and of course
all idea of discontinuing was abandoned. BY
the time the twelfth number was reached the
publishers were so gratified with the signal
success to which the work had now attained
that they sent Mr.. Dickens a check for $500.
At its conclusion the sale had reached about
10000 copies per number. The publishers, il
was understood ct the time, made clear
profit of nearly e200 after paying Dickens
